Went is reported in the newspapers of that

the days of dullness arc passing away. The

New England is also active.
ita.,Tuesday last was the anniversary of
the death of Lincoln, the great martyr to
human liberty. While Washington secured
lasting immortality by establishing - - the
dependence of his country ; Lincoln secured
fame_that_will_live_throngh all coming -time r
by rescuing the country from the perils of a
widespread insurrection, and giving it a new
birth of freedom. It is recorded, says the
Frederick Pepithlican, that during the three
years in which his remains have lain in the
cemetery at Springfitld, more persons have
visited it than have recorded their names at
the tomb of Waskington during the sixty.
- eight years which the father of his country
has slept at Mount Vernon. As each re
turning Springtime comes to deck ibeprair
ies with turf of green and violets of blue, let
the struggling millions of humanity every.
where over the earth, turn their eyes toward 1
the grave of cur martyr-President, and from
- his life of noble sacrifice draw renewed in.

IMPEACPMENT.—T h e impeachment of
that,greatest of criminals, Andrew Johnson,
is dragging along slowly, but we believe
with unmistakable certainty, to his final con
viction and disgrace. Occasionally a cold
o ill runs through the loyal masses at some
vote given in the Senate, fearful that it in
dicate 3 that that body will disappoint justice.
and close out the last hope for peace and
safety to the country. But from all that we
oan learn from Washington thus far, noth
ing among all the testimony • that has been I
- elicited — , even by throwing open the door as
wide as the President's friends have desired,
will shake the stubborn fact that Andrew
Johnson did with deliberation and premedi-
tated intent-viulate- a -supreme--law of the
land, and is now persisting in doing the same.
That his own witnesses have sworn to. His
tool, Lorenzo Thomas, swears that the Presi
dent recognizes him as the Secretary of War,
and not Mr. Stanton.
There is no just ground for believing that
the High Court of Impeachment, the Sea
ate of the United States, will falter in per
forming its whole duty to the American poo
-Ile and mankind, by ejecting in disgrace
Andrew Johnson from the Presidential chair.
It will be doing for the South whst An
drew Johnson persisted in not doing; that
is, sustaining the loyal men of that section
and thus giving them security and peace un•
der the law. This effected and the South
ern States restored to the Union— Jeff. Da
vis tried for treason, found guilty, and bring
all the big and little rebels who left their
country for their country's good at the close
of the rebellion, tla if they return they do
so at the peril of their lives;—and those
that are here put on their good behaviour,
will be some of the "good things" we may
look forward to, and some of the glory the
future has in store for us. So says the Lan
caster Examiner.
gia.The Union men of the South, recog
nizing in Andrett Johnson their most dead
ly enemy—on enemy the more bitter and un
relenting from Lis own consciousness of the
fact that he has so grossly wronged and be
trayed them—look forward with a terror very
natural to their circumstances at the bare
possibility of his escape from the doom they
know he has doubly merited. In a letter
from Governor Brownlow to Hon. James
Mu ling, dated the Bth instant, speaking of
this feeling in Tennessee, he says:
The Rebels are confident Obis acquittal,
and this increases' the uneasiness of the Rad
icals. The Rebels count ten or a dozen Rad
icals who will voiefon Johnson's side. Can
this be possible ? If Johnson is acquitted,
all the,decided Radicals will leave Tennessee,
for they can hardly live here now in view of
the supposed acquittal of Johnson. Acquit
Johnson, and you, sir, teed not return to

, taking into account the smallness of our Bur

since the foreign demand will hold in check

ROMEO.—The knowing description . et
the elephant Romeo's subjection by his pres

lir,an, may be interesting to our readers ;
"Our readers will not have forgotten the
account published last December of the ele
phant Romeo, who was being wintered in the
village of Ilatborough, Montgomery county,
killing his keeper, Mir. %%iiliams. The ele
phant was chained by his two fore feet at the
time, and in that — e - o - n - d - ition remaioe ever
since. He would allow no one to go near
him, and completely demolished everything
within reach of his huge trunk. Mr. Fore

Hatborough. They took With them ropes,
tackles, chains, etc.. with which to fasten the
terrible beast and bring him to terms. Upon
Mr. Craven entering the stable of Romeo, he

A RACE For A WIFE.—Tbe Marysville
(Va.) Telegraph relates the following :
Two "gay and festive" young men of this
village are to run a foot race on Saturday
morning from the corner of E. and Fifth
street to the Feather river bridge and back.
The wager for which these two young bloods
are to try their skill at running is this hand
of a pretty miss of seventeen winters. Tbe
two young gents have for some time past
been "running" after .this stick , of candy,
and so evenly is her heart divided between
the •twain, that she found it impossible to de
termine* which had the biggest half, and left
it to them to decide 'which should be which.'
The sensible fellows, instead of resorting to
mortal combat, with navy revolvers, dirks,
keen edged rozors, concluded upon a foot
race, both being fast young men. The win
ner takes the young lady to church on Sun
day night. • The novel "race for a wife" can
not fail to attract a large audience, as the ad
mission is free. The runners will start at
half•past seven o'clock A. M precisely.
Cl= FOR CROUP. -Dr. Trevitt, editor of
the Columbus (0) Crisis, and an experi •
cooed physician, published the following :
Croup.—As this is the season of the year
in which this infantile disease is most pre
valent, we publish the following recipe from
the Paris Afe(lical Gazette: Mix one teas
poonful of sulphur in a glass of water,. and
give a teaspoonful of the mixture every hour.
The disease is cured in two days, the only
symptom remaining being a cough arising
from the loose pieces of false membrane in
the trachea.'
ECONOMY.—The father of an interesting
family not long since stopped the only news
paper which be had ever allowed himself or
family, and solely the ground that he could
not afford the expenses This man chews up
fourteen dollars and sixty cents worth of W
ham every year.—Democrat.
He was undoubtedly a brother to the man
we have in our mind's eye, who cannot afford
-to take his borne paper, yet has his' regular
`•bitters" three times a day, at ten cents per
"bitter I" If one of his children should ask
bim for twenty-five cents to spend for a
pocket knife or. a hair comb, he would frown
them down and give them a long lecture on
extravagance.-211iltonian.

BRAVO.—An old reb, at Ringgold, lately
remarked that he would like to haVe an op.
portunity afforded him in some crowd to
knock tei — down. The crowd that he would
prefer we are not likely to be caught in soon,
as we are no.t partial to crowds, of doubtful
character. Once during the Rebellion we
paid our respects to this sympathiser with the
"Lost Cause," and ho should nowbe-admon
ished to keep his "flytrap" shut.
A PRESENT-Mr. M. C. Deatrich, from
near Antietam Junction, has placed us un
der obligations to him for a present of a
peck of very choice sweet potatoes. Mr. D.
has, recently received latge quantities for
sprouting and will be enabled in due time to
furnish the public with the choicest varie
ties of-nlants.
A "LocaE ITEsi.—We observe that the
Frederick (\ld.) Republican has given our
Borough subscription to the proposed Scot
land and Mont Alto Railroad a parsing no
tice, which seems to have been regarded as
unworthy of notice nearer home. Since our
last issue she amount has boon increased to
nearly forty-five thousand dollars.
TEM WEATIIEIL—The weather for the
past week has been variable, at times super
latively disagreeable. Last Sunday (Easter)
early in the morning- presented a cloudless
sky, with a mild and almost unruffled atmos
phere. Before noon, however, 'Old Sol' diS•
appeared behind huge clouds which sudden
ly shrouded the vault above. In the
after
noon, a storm ensued which outinned, alter
nating with little intermissio% , between rain,
sleet and snow, until Monday noon; covering
the ground with the latter to the depth of
several inches. The public roads, Street
crossings and alloys have, since been in a de
plorable condition. The fruit we are pleased
to learn has passed through this trying or
deal So far unscathed.
NEW FIRM—NEW GOODS.—Messrs. Sta

of new Spring and summer goods. Call and
examine their stock. Advertisement , next

ti A. Farmer of experience gives it as his
opinion that such a winter as we have been
having is a natural prelude to an abundapt
fruit year. Who -ground has been, steadily
frozen and covered with snow-lree from the
alternate 'freezinge and thswings which are
injurious to the trees, and weakeiting or de

With this road the_ stockholder cannot fail
of remuneration both directly and indireotly.
We have heretofore assigned reasons for this
belief. With everything to gain and noth
ing to lose, the amount of stock required
should—certainly— be—secured__ wi thont any
great hardship. Upon this the success or
failure of the undertaking devolves. Let
matters of minor consideration be adjusted
after the stock has been subscribed. if it is
deemed necessary to have a temporary line
run, let it be done, but ou this account the
Committee should not delay the more impor
tant-part-of-scouring-the-required stock sub
scriptions.
BIRDS.—The 'following 'beer we clip
from that excellent daily, the Harrisburg
Telegraph :
"Don't kill the birds, the pretty birds,"
that run up and down your apple trees.
They are the conservators of orchards and
the arch enemies of bugs, grabs and worms.
Some one told as the other day that the
farmers' btla were shooting woodpeckers
and "sapsuckers," as if they were birds of
prey; but what is their meat is poison to
orchard trees. If you see row after row of
round holes encircling an apple tree trunk,
don't be alarmed. but thank Providence for
the birds which took a grub out of every
hole perhaps. Many insects deposit their
eggs *4) e intersti::es of the bark, and when
they Mrch out they bore into the soft,
spongy bark. The "sapsucker," as he is
erroneously called, seeks out the hiding places
of these pests and gobbles them up. The
woodpecker (Picus) alights on a tree trunk,
and darting sidewise, tap•tap-taps on the
bark with his beak. He is sounding the
bark, and when he detects a hollow—and it
must be a very small one if he do not detect
it—he bores his way into the cavity and
devours the tenant. You lose ten bushcli
of apples when you•shoot a woodpecker. So
don't kill the woodpeckers, boys, don't kid
the woodpeckers.

On the 16th of March, at hie residence, i.
Waynesboro', MICHAEL M. STONER,
Esq., in the 61st year of his age.
The departed was one of the most esteem
ed and enterprising citizens of our commu
nity; loved and respected by all who knew
him.
On the 25th of October last, he received
the sacrament of Christian Baptism, and u
nited with the M. B. Church; and he soon
gave evidence of vital piety. Though sub
seqently his mind was at times somewhat de
ranged, yet during the lucid intervals, ho
gave heed to those things which make for
the eonl'e eternal peace, and thus ripened for
the garner above. •
When visited by bis pastor, he always
gave evidence of the depth and genuineness
of his piety by a desire for instruction, and
by the earnestness with whieh• he alwaysi
joined in the exercises of devotion.
' A few days before his death, when in
formed that the hour of his departure was at
band, "he said I am willing to live, but ready
to die." And then when dying the question
was asked : "Is it all well with - you now ?"
He replied "yes all is well." Thus he fell
asleep with a certain and personal hope of a
:brims resurrection. D. S.
